TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel organic compounds and compositions which are alpha-1 (α-1) adrenoreceptor antagonists, processes for making such compounds, synthetic intermediates employed in these processes, and a method for inhibiting alpha-1 adrenoreceptors and treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called benign prostatic hypertrophy, or other urological diseases such as bladder outlet obstruction and neurogenic bladder, or gynecological syndromes such as dysmenorrhea

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adrenergic neurons play a major role in the innervation of heart, blood vessel and smooth muscle tissue. Compounds capable of interacting with adrenoreceptor sites within adrenergic nerves can initiate a variety of physiological responses, including vasoconstriction, vasodilation, and increased or decreased heart rate (chronotropic), contractility (inotropic) and metabolic activity. In the past, various adrenergic compounds have been employed to affect these and other physiological responses. However, many adrenergic compounds do not possess significant selectivity to enable desirable interactions with adrenergic adrenoreceptor sites. That is, these adrenergic compounds do not demonstrate a high degree of specificity for differing adrenoreceptor types within adrenergic neurons in order to obtain a desired physiological response separate from other possible, and perhaps less desirable, responses of the system.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition which develops in middle-aged and elderly males and refers to the benign overgrowth of the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate associated with aging. Symptoms of BPH include increased frequency of urination, nocturia, a weak urine stream and hesitancy or delay in starting the urine flow. Chronic consequences of BPH can include hypertrophy of bladder smooth muscle, a decompensated bladder and an increased incidence of urinary tract infection.

Typically, BPH begins at an age in the mid-fiffies and is the most common cause of urinary tract problems of men of this age. BPH is apparently rare in men prior to age 40, but at age 60, approximately 50% of men have histological evidence of BPH. The prevalence of BPH continues to increase with age until, at age 80, approximately 80% of men have pathological evidence of BPH.

Although prostatic hyperplasia is a common finding in older men, the presence of urinary symptoms is the essential feature that distinguishes simple anatomic enlargement of the prostate from prostatism, which is the clinical syndrome whereby the patient experiences significant obstruction of urinary flow. It is not uncommon in older men to have a palpably enlarged prostate without showing the symptoms of prostatism. From the patient's perspective, however, the incidence and progression of urinary symptoms are more important than the mere presence of an enlarged prostate.

The discovery in the 1970's (M. Caine, et al., Brit. J. Urol., 47: 193-202 (1975)) of large numbers of alpha-adrenergic adrenoreceptors in the smooth muscle of the prostatic capsule and bladder neck led to the conclusion that there is both a static and a dynamic component to bladder outlet obstruction associated with BPH. The static component derives from the progressive hyperplasia of the prostate with aging, leading to urethral narrowing which causes symptoms of urinary obstruction. Superimposed on this essentially mechanical problem is the variable degree of smooth muscle contraction controlled by the sympatheic nervous system and which is affected by factors such as stress, cold and sympathomimetic drugs. It is this dynamic component which explains the often rapid fluctuations in symptoms observed in patients with prostatism.

The currently most effective treatment for BPH is the surgical procedure of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) Since it removes the obstructing tissue (C. Chapple, Br. Med. Journal 304: 1198-1199 (1992)) it is a treatment which is directed to the static and dynamic components of BPH. However, this surgical treatment is associated with rates of mortality (1%) and adverse event (incontinence 2-4%, infection 5-10%, and impotence 5-10%). A non-invasive alternative treatment would thus be highly desirable.

The incidental clinical observation that urinary incontinence developed in women during antihypertensive treatment with prazosin (T. Thien, K. P. Delacre, F. M. J. Debruyne, R. A. P. Koene, Br. Med. Journal, 622-623 (1978)) and the experimental work of Caine (op cit.) contributed to the recognition of the potential role of selective α-1 adrenoreceptor blockade in diseases of the lower urinary tract. Subsequent studies by several groups have documented the functional role of α-1 adrenoreceptors relative to α-2 adrenoreceptors in the stromal compartment of the prostate, thereby providing a putative molecular basis for the use of specific α-1 adrenoreceptor blockers in the non-surgical management of BPH (C- R. Chapple, M. L. Aubry, S. James, M. Greengrass, G. Burnstock, P, T. Turner-Warwick, Br. J. Urol. 63: 487-496 (1989)). Clinical efficacy of α-1 antagonists in BPH has been demonstrated with several non-selective α-1 blockers, including terazosin (Hytrin®), prazosin, and doxazosin. Treatment periods as short as two to four weeks with α-1 adrenoreceptor blockers have shown objective improvements in the mean and maximum urinary flow rates (14-96%) with subjective improvements in patients' symptom scores (R. A. Janknegt, C. R. Chapple, Eur. Urol. 24: 319-326 (1993)). Longer term studies with terazosin, indoramin, prazosin, and doxazosin have similarly demonstrated significant improvements in urinary flow rates and subjective symptom scores (R. A. Janknegt, op. cit., H. Lepor, G. Knapp-Maloney, J. Urol. 145: 263A (1991), W. Chow, D. Hahn, D. Sandhu, Br. J. Urol. 6: 36-38 (1990) and C. R. Chapple, T. J. Christmas, E. J. G. Milroy, Urol. Int. 45: 47-55 (1990)). However, these agents possess similar dose limiting side effects: hypotension, dizziness, and muscle fatigue.

In recent years, it has become clear that BPH and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) are clinically differentiable, and that the severity of clinical BPH is related to many factors in addition to BOO (Lepor, H., Alpha Blockade for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Urol. Clin. N. Amer., 22: 375-386, 1995.). For example, BOO may be related to other urological symptoms such as detrusor instability (Rosier, P. F. W. M., J. J. M. C. H. de la Rosette, H. Wijkstra, Ph. E. V. Van Kerrebroeck and F. M. J. Debruyne, Is Detrusor Instability in Elderly Males Related to the Grade of Obstruction?, Neurourol. Urodynam., 14: 625-633, 1995). In addition, the role of extraprostatic α-1 adrenoreceptors has been postulated as important in the etiology of lower urinary tract symptoms, such that antagonism of these receptors in spinal cord, ganglia, nerve terminals, bladder and bladder neck or the external urethral sphincter could be important in pharmacotherapy of urological conditions such as BOO and neurogenic bladder (Andersson, K- E., Prostatic and extraprostatic (α-adrenoceptors-Contributions to the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Scand. J. Urol. and Nephrol., 30: 105-111, 1996). The recognition that women possess paraurethral glands which have anatomical, histological and biochemical similarities to the male prostate (Gittes, R. F. and R. M. Nakamura, Female urethral syndrome: A female prostatitis?, Western J. Medicine, 164: 435-438, 1996) suggests a potential role for α-1 adrenoreceptor antagonist pharmacotherapy for amelioration of some symptoms of female urethral syndromes. In addition, α-adrenoreceptors are functionally important to smooth muscle contraction in the uterus (Miller, M. D. and J. M. Marshall, Uterine response to nerve stimulation: relation to hormonal status and catecholamines. Am. J. Physiol., 209: 859-863, 1965) and the modulation of sympathetic responses to catecholamines is enhanced by elevations in the levels of estrogens (Miller and Marshall, Uterine response to nerve stimulation; relation to hormonal status and catecholamines, Am. J. Physiol., 209: 859-863, 1965). Consistent with this observation are data showing increasing levels of α-adrenoreceptor responses and receptor density following estrogen administration to animals (Hoffman, B. B., T. N. Lavin, R. J. Lefkowitz and R. R. Ruffolo, Jr., Alpha adrenergic receptor subtypes in rabbit uterus: Mediation of myometrial contraction and regulation by estrogens, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 219: 290-295, 1981, and Roberts, J. M., P. A. Insel and A. Goldfein, Regulation of myometrial adrenoreceptors and adrenergic response by sex steroids, Mol. Pharmacol., 20: 52-58, 1981). Thus hormonal regulation of α-1 adrenoreceptor sensitivity could play a role in enhanced uterine contractions in dysmenorrhea, a condition for which selective α-1 adrenoreceptor antagonists could have therapeutic potential.

There thus exists a need for a "uroselective" α-1 antagonist with reduced side effect liabilities.

By "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is meant those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgement, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the at For example, S. M. Berge, et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharm. Sciences, 66: 1-19 (1977), which is hereby incorporated by reference. The compounds of the present invention can be used in the form of salts derived from inorganic or organic acids. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the invention, or separately by reacting the free base function with a suitable organic acid. These salts include, but are not limited to, the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, cyclopentanepropionate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate and undecanoate. Also, the basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with such agents as alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chloride, bromides, and iodides; dialkyl sulfates like dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates, long chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, aralkyl halides like benzyl and phenethyl bromides, and others. Water or oil-soluble or dispersible products are thereby obtained.

Examples of acids which may be employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include such inorganic acids as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid and such organic acids as oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid and citric acid Basic addition salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of formula (1), or separately by reacting the carboxylic acid function with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate of a pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation or with ammonia, or an organic primary, secondary or tertiary amine. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, cations based on the alkali and alkalme earth metals, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum salts and the like, as well as nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, including, but not limited to ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylarine, and the like. Other representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include diethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine and the like.

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester" as used herein refers to esters which hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alaanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters includes formates, acetates, propionates, butyates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates.

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug" as used herein refers to those prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgement, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds of the invention. The term "prodrug" refers to compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to provide the parent compound having the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. A thorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

As used throughout this specification and the appended claims, the term metabolically cleavable group denotes a moiety which is readily cleaved in vivo from the compound bearing it, wherein said compound, after cleavage remains or becomes pharmacologically active. Metabolically cleavable groups form a class of groups reactive with the carboxyl group of the compounds of this invention are well known to practitioners of the art. They include, but are ot limited to groups such as, for example, alkanoyl, such as acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, and the ike; unsubstituted and substituted aroyl, such as benzoyl and substituted benzoyl; alkoxycarbonyl, such as ethoxycarbonyl; trialkylsilyl, such as trmethyl- and triethysilyl; monoesters formed with dicarboxylic acids, such as succinyl, and the like. Because of the ease with which the metabolically cleavable groups of the compounds of this invention are cleaved in vivo, the compounds bearing such groups act as pro-drugs of α-1 adrenoreceptor antagonist compounds. The compounds bearing the metabolically cleavable groups have the advantage that they may exhibit improved bioavailability as a result of enhanced solubility and/or rate of absorption conferred upon the parent compound by virtue of the presence of the metabolically cleavable group.

Compounds of the present invention include compounds which result from non-natural or synthetic preparations, including in vitro and in situ preparations, or as a result of in vivo preparation, e.g., in vivo metabolism.

Asymmetric centers may exist in the compounds of the present invention. The present invention contemplates the various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof. Individual stereoisomers of compounds of the present invention are made by synthesis from starting materials containing the chiral centers or by preparation of mixtures of enantiomeric products followed by separation as, for example, by conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation by recrystallization or chromatographic techniques, or by direct separation of the optical enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns. Starting compounds of particular stereochemistry are either commercially available or are made by the methods detailed below and resolved by techniques well known in the organic chemical arts.

Representative compounds of the present invention were evaluated for their ability to displace prazosin from its adrenoreceptor.

In vitro Binding Assays

In the following, for purposes of discussing alpha-1 adrenoreceptor subtypes, the IUPHAR convention of using lower case letters to define molecular clones and upper case letters to indicate pharmacologically defined adrenoreceptors has been followed. Moreover, the newly recommended nomenclature for alpha-1 (α_(1a), α_(1b), α_(1d)) has been used.

Representative compounds of the invention were evaluated for α-adrenoreceptor binding affinity in vitro using [³ H]-prazosin as the radioligand and three cloned α-1 adrenoreceptors expressed in LTK cells: α-1a (bovine), α-1b (hamster), and α-1d (rat). Additionally, binding affinity against the pharmacologically defined α-1A adrenoreceptor (rat submaxillary gland) was measured.

The cDNA clones encoding the α-1 adrenoreceptors (α-1a, α-1b, and α-1d) were obtained from TULCO (Triangle Universities Licensing Consortium, Research Triangle Park, NC) and inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector SnaB30. In this vector, expression of the adrenoreceptor gene is under the transcriptional control of an SV40 early promoter. Positive drug selection is provided by a neomycin-resistance gene. Mouse fibroblast cells (LTK) were transfected with the α₁ expression plasmids and grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal calf serum and 30 μM G418. Stable G418-resistant parental lines were generated, with successful expression of adrenoreceptor protein monitored using radioligand binding techniques. Stable single cell clones derived from the parental lines were screened in adrenoreceptor binding assays to identify clones having high adrenoreceptor density. Roller bottle cultures of the cloned lines were used to provide cell membranes for subsequent adrenoreceptor binding characterization studies. A cell line containing the SnaB30 vector expressing the human erythropoietin gene served as a negative control.

For adrenoreceptor binding assays, large scale membrane preparations were utilized in which 6 million cells were seeded into small (450 cm²) Corning tissue culture roller bottles.. 200 mL of DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum and 300,μM G418 were added to each roller bottle. A 95% air/5% CO₂ gas mixture (sterile) was injected into each roller bottle prior to 20 sealing. The bottles were then incubated at 37 ° C. on a roller rack for 5 days. Cells were re-fed with fresh medium after 3 days in culture.

On the fifth day of culture, growth medium was removed from cells grown in roller bottles, and the cells were washed twice with PBS (Sigma, 120 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na₂ HPO₄ -NaH₂ PO₄, pH=7.4). Cells were detached from the roller bottles by incubating for 15 minutes at 37° C. in a Tris-EDTA solution (10 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH=7.4). The cell suspension from each roller bottle was decanted into tared centrifuge tubes and kept on ice. An aliquot of each cell suspension was generally taken for cell counting. Cells were centrifuged at 3000×G for 5 min at 2-4° C., washed with PBS and recentrifiged. The supernatant was decanted and the pellet weighed to determine the wet weight of cells. Cells were washed a final time in 40 vol 5 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM EDTA, pH=7.7, and centrifuged at 40,000×G for 10 minutes. Cells were homogenized in 10 mL of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM EDTA (pH=7.4) and diluted to 40 mL/tube. Homogenates were centrifuged at 40,000×G for 10 minutes. The supernatant was decanted and the pellets rehomogenized in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH=7.4) and centrifuged as before. The supernatant was decanted and the homogenate resuspended in 6.25 volumes (per gram wet weight) of 50 mM Tris-HCl and aliquots of the pooled homogenates frozen in liquid N₂ and stored at -70° C. until the time of assay. Rat submaxillary glands were used for α-1A adrenoreceptors and were prepared essentially as described (Michel, A. D., Loury, D. N. and Whiting, R. L., Brit. J. Pharmacol. 98: 83-889 (1989)).

Receptor binding assays for α-1 adrenoreceptors were performed essentially as described by Greengrass and Bremner (Eur. J. Pharmacol. 55: 323-326 (1979)). Briefly, plastic Bioblocks™ (DBM Scientific, Valencia, Calif.) were incubated at 25° C. for 50 minutes with 500 μL of membrane homogenate (diluted with an additional 96 volumes [for cloned adrenoreceptors, 12 volumes for submaxillary gland] in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH=7.7 at the time of assay), 450 μL of [³ H]prazosin (0.2 nM final concentration, 75-85 Ci/mmole, DuPont-NEN Corp., Boston, Mass.) and 50 μL of either water (for total binding) or 10 μM phentolamine final concentration, for non-specific binding). Following equilibration, bound radioligand was separated from free on GF/B filters (presoaked in 0.5% polyethyleneimine) using either a Brandel or Packard cell harvester. Radioactivity was determined by standard liquid scintillation techniques. Data were analyzed as previously described (Hancock, A. A., Kyncl, J. J., Martin, Y. C. and DeBarnardis, J. F., J. Receptor Res. 8: 23-46 (1988)).

Canine prostate strips were used in vitro as previously described (Hieble, J. P., Boyce, A. J. and Caine, M., Fed Proc., 4: 2609-2614 (1986)), to determine antagonist potencies against phenylephrine-induced contractions.

The results are shown in Table 1. The results show that the compounds of the invention bind to the α-1 adrenoreceptor and show varying degrees of specificity for the α-1a adrenoreceptor.

Functional Antagonism at α-1 Adrenoceptors

Functional assays indicative of pharmacologically defined α-1 adrenoreceptors were used to further characterize compounds. Inhibition of phenylephrine (PE)-induced contraction of canine prostate smooth muscle can be correlated with α-1A adrenoreceptor activation Inhibition of PE-induced contraction of rat spleen is representative of α-1B adrenoreceptor antagonism and inhibition of PE-induced contraction of rat vas deferens correlates with α-1A adrenoreceptor antagonism (R. P. Burt, C. R. Chapple and I. Marshall, Br. J. Pharmacol. 107: P324 (1992)). For each of these models, agonist dose response curves were repeated against increasing concentrations of test agent to derive a Schild plot [log (EC₅₀ -1) against log (molarity of test agent)] to determine the pA₂. Data for prazosin, terazosin and doxazosin actually demonstrate a more potent effect on spleen smooth muscle by approximately an order of magnitude.

Canine prostate strips were used in vitro as previously described (Hieble, J. P., Boyce, A. J. and Caine, M., Fed. Proc., 45: 2609-2614 (1986)), to determine antagonist potencies against phenylephrine-induced contractions.

The results are shown in Tables 2. The results show that the compounds of the invention exhibit functional antagonism of α-1 adrenoreceptors.

In Vivo Determination of Intrauretbral Pressure (IUP) in Canines

The intrauretlral pressure (IUP) model in aged canines is an accepted model of measuring the effect of prostate smooth muscle contraction on urethral tone. Canines also have an enclosed prostate covering the urethral shaft thus providing an anatomical correlate with humans.

Beagle dogs (Marshall Farms) greater that 2 years of age and weighing between 12 and 15 kg were pre-anesthetized with thiopental sodium 15 mg/kg i.v. (Pentothal™, Abbott) and then placed under general anesthesia (isoflurane). A 7F Swan-Ganz balloon catheter (Multiplex-list no. 41224-01, Abbott) was lubricated with a water soluble jelly, inserted into the urethral orifice and advanced approximately 40 cm in male dogs (considerably less in females) until the balloon tip was placed well inside the bladder. The balloon was then inflated with 1 mL of room air and the catheter slowly withdrawn just past the first resistance that is felt at the bladder neck. Preliminary experiments in which dogs were sacrificed after such placement confirmed that this technique results in consistent positioning of the balloon within the prostatic urethra in males or the corresponding location in females. The balloon port of the catheter was connected to a Gould Statham P23Dd pressure transducer interfaced to a computerized data acquisition system (Modular Instruments, Inc., Malvern, Pa.) for the measurement of intraurethral pressure (IUP).

Dogs were then treated with propranolol to block the β-adrenoreceptor agonist effects of test agonists. Dose-response curves of the intraurethral pressor effect of epinephrine (EPI) were obtained before and after each of up to 3 increasing doses of a test antagonist (i.v.). Fifteen minutes was allowed after each antagonist dose for equilibration before the next agonist dose-response was initiated. The increase in IUP caused by a given agonist dose was allowed to return to baseline before the next dose was given. The estimated antagonist dissociation constant (in vivo pseudo pA₂) was determined by Schild analysis (Brune, et al., Drug Development Research, 34:267-275 (1995).

The results are shown in Table 3. The results indicate that the compounds of the invention inhibit EPI induced increases in IUP.

Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) Model

The SHR model historically has been used as a predictor for the hypotensive effects of α-1 adrenoreceptor antagonists. Male spontaneously hypertensive rats were anesthetized and the left femoral srtery and vein catheterized for the measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and drug administration respectively. The arterial catheter was connected to a Gould Statham p23ID transducer and the pressure waveform was recorded. MAP (mm Hg) and heart rate (HR,beats/min.) were determined on-line using a BUXCO Cardiovascular Analyzer.) After a 30 minute pre-dose control period, each rat was given one dose of a test antagonist i.v. and the MAP and HR were monitored for an additional 2.5 hours. The area under the hypotensive response cureve upt to 60 minutes post dosing (T₆₀ AUC) was determined using a trapezoidal rule integration of the percent change from control arterial pressure dataset. The results are expressed as a pED₅₀ value, which is defined as the negative log of the dose that produced a hypotensive response of -1250, which constitutes 50% of the area under the curve between SHR and normotensive rats.

The results shown in Table 4. The results show that the compounds of the invention are weakly hypotensive.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection, or for rectal administration.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. The term "parenteral" administration as used herein refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.

These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifingal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like, Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.

Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.

Compositions for rectal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum and release the active compound.

Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.

Methods to form liposomes are known in the arL See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.

Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required. Opthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.

Generally dosage levels of about 0.01 to about 50, more preferably of about 0.05 to about 5 mg of active compound per kilogram of body weight per day are administered oally to a mammalian patient. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration, e.g. two to four separate doses per day.

Methods for preparing the compounds of the invention are shown in Schemes 1-9. In the following Schemes, R₁ and R₂ are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, ayrynyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, carboxy, carboxyalkyl, halogen, nitro, amino, and aminoalkyl. In the following schemes, n=1 or 2, m=1-6, R=alkyl, and Y, G, G', U, and U' are as defined previously.

Scheme 1 illustrates the general procedure for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. The secondary amine 1 is elaborated to the compounds of this invention (7) by one of two general methods. Alkylation of 1 with a haloalkyl nitrile in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base, such as ethyldiisopropylamine, K₂ CO₃, or the like to yield an intermediate nitrile (2) which is then reduced using LiAlH₄, AlH₃, BH₃, catalytic hydrogenation, or the like produces the intermediate aminoalkyl substituted analog 3. Treatment of this amine with a heterocyclic isocyanate of the general formula 5 yields an intermediate urea, which either spontaneously cyclizes to the pyrimidinedione product 7, or does so under base catalysis. Alternatively, when R is other than H, the carbamoyl chloride 6 replaces the isocyanate 5. Alternatively, the secondary amine 1 can be reacted with the haloalkyl heterocyclic urea of the general formula 4 in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base such as ethyldiisopropylamine, K₂ CO₃, or the like to the yield the title compounds of the invention (7) directly.

The amine 1, where n=1, is prepared as outlined in Scheme 2 (for cis ring fusion) and Scheme 3 (for trans ring fusion). For the cis fused product, treatment of the appropriately substituted coumarin 8 with the azomethine ylide precursor N-trimethylsilylmethyl-N-methoxymethyl-benzylamine 9 produces the cyclized product 10 selectively as the cis isomer. Reduction of the lactone with LiAlH₄, BH₃, AlH₃, LiBH₄, or the like yield the alcohol 11. Activation of the primary alcohol as a chloride 12, bromide, mesylate, or the like, followed by treatment with a base, such as KOtBu, NaOMe, NaOH, K₂ CO₃, or the like results in cyclization to the cis fused benzopyranopyrrole nucleus 13. Removal of the benzyl group from the amine, most conveniently achieved by catalytic hydrogenation, yields the cis fused secondary amine 14.

For the trans fused product, treatment of the appropriately substituted trans cinnamate (Scheme 3) with the azomethine ylide precursor N-trimethylsilylmethyl-N-methoxymethyl-benzylamine 9 produces the cyclized product 16 selectively as the trans isomer. Reduction of the ester with LiAlH₄, BH₃, AlH₃ or the like, followed by hydrolysis of the phenol protecting group, yields the alcohol 17. Activation of the primary alcohol as a chloride 18, bromide, 20 mesylate, or the like, followed by treatment with a base, such as KOtBu, NaOMe, NaOH, K₂ CO₃, or the like results in cyclizaton to the trans fused benzopyranopyrrole nucleus 19. Removal of the benzyl group from the amine, most conveniently achieved by catalytic hydrogenation, yields the trans fused secondary amine 20.

In a preferred embodiment of this invention, substitution of the azomethine ylide precursor 21, derived from (R)-α-methylbenzyl amine, for 9, derived from benzyl amine, allows for synthesis of the preferred (3aR, 9bR) amine 22 from 5-methoxycoumarin (Scheme 4), and the preferred (3aS, 9bR) amine 23 from the ethyl 2-methoxy-6-methoxymethyl-trans-cinnamate (Scheme 5). In Scheme 4, the reagents PPh3/CC14 may be replaced using methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine.

In another preferred embodiment of this invention, a precursor of a compound of formula 1 wherein n=2, (4aR,10bS)-trans-10-Methoxy-1,3,4,4a,5,10b-hexahydro-2H-[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridine (28) is prepared as show in Scheme 6. The imide 24 is prepared from ethyl 2-methoxy-6-methoxymethyl cinnamate and ethyl N-benzylamidomalonate according to the method of Faruk and Martin, U.S. Pat. No. 4,902,801. Reduction with LiAlH₄, AlH₃, BH₃, or the like, followed by conversion of the primary alcohol to a suitable leaving group, such as chloro, bromo, mesylate, or the like; hydrolysis of the protected phenol, and intramolecular cyclization, followed by debenzylation yields the racemic trans-10Methoxy-1,3,4,4a,5,10b-hexahydro-2H-[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridine 25. Reaction of the secondary amine with a chiral chloroformate, such as menthyl chloroformate, yields a mixture of diastereomeric carbamates, which can then be separated chromatographically. Removal of the carbamate group by treatment with n-BuLi then yields the enantiomericauly resolved secondary amine 28.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the compounds of Formulae I-XIV and Formulae XXI-XXV may be prepared as shown in Scheme 7. Condensation of phenylglyoxal mono oxime (30) with 2-aminomalononitrile tosylate salt (31) followed by reduction of the resulting pyrazine N-oxide (32) with triethylphosphite, sodium bisulfite, triphenylphosphine, or the like, regioselectivity yields 33. Diazotization of the amino functionality, followed by displacement with CuBr, CuCl or the like, yields the intermediate chloro- or bromopyrazine (34), which upon base promoted condensation with methylthioglycolate yields the thienopyrazine intermediate (35). Use of other alkylthioglycolates such as ethyl, n-propyl, n-alkyl, or substituted alkyls would yield alternative thienopyrazine intermediates with differentiated alkyl groups on the ester. Reaction of the thienopyrazine intermediate (35) with phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene, or the like, in the presence of an inert solvent produces the isocyanate (36) of Formula XXV.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a compound of XV-XX may be prepared according to the method outlined in Scheme 8. Activation of the free hydroxyl of (37) as a methanesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, or the like, or as a halide, followed by nucleophilic displacement with 2-bromo-or 2-iodoresorcinol mono methyl ether yields the ether intermediate (40). The ether intermediate (40) where X=Br or I may be cyclized by forming the enolate of the lactam with a metal amide (such as KHMDS, LiHMDS, LDA, NaNH₂, KNH₂, or the like) and exposing to a metal salt (Cu+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and the like) similar to the work of McKillop (McKillop, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans, I., 1993, 2433), herein incorporated entirely by reference. Alternatively, a metal enolate of the lactam (40) can be exposed to a transition metal complex (such as Pd/C or Pd(PPh₃)₄) or a transition metal salt complex (salts of Pd2+ that may or may not be complexed to phosphines, amines, or nitriles) in order to make the compound (41) where R is an unsubstituted benzyl group. Deprotection of 41 can be accomplished using catalytic hydrogenation conditions. The alkylation of 42 with a haloalkyl nitrile in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base, such as ethyldiisopropylamine, K2Co3, or the like, to yield an intermediate nitrile (43) which is then reduced using LiAlH4, AlH3, BH3, catalytic hydrogenation, or the like, produces the intermediate aminoalkyl substitiuted analog (44).

In another embodiment of the present invention, a lactam intermediate may be prepared as shown in Scheme 9 by reacting 1-hydroxy-2-formaldehyde-3-methoxybenzene (45) in a protic solvent, such as iso-propyl alcohol or the like, with a teriary amine base, such as DABCO or the like, and methyl acrylate to produce the chromene (47). Condensation of the chromene with nitromethane in the presence of a non-nucleophieic base such as DBU or potassium tert-butoxide or the like yields the intermediate nitroester (48) which is then reduced to the lactam (49) using catalytic hydrogenation and a base such as sodium methoxide or the like. ##STR36##
